Engine Cut-Off Switch (ECOS)

New Hampshire law requires the operator of any boat less than 26 feet in length, or an outboard engine greater than 3 horsepower, to wear an engine cut-off switch (ECOS) when the traveling greater than headway speed. This only applies to boats and engines that were manufactured with an ECOS. Boats and motors manufactured prior to 2020 that were not equipped with an ECOS or boats equipped with an enclosed cabin are exempt from the requirements of this law.
